32 oz Steak was so good and so worth the 34 dollars. Best steak I've ever had run to this place walk once you're inside because the lighting SUCKS, service isn't too good either but the food is worth it, REALLY worth it Pros: Steak,quality Meats,Chefs,Location

Cons: Parking, Lighting, No A/C, Service,Price,Drink selection

Amazing Food. My favorite restaurant, Simpson's Steak & Seafood closed in Raleigh and my husband and I have been trying to search for a replacement. The food at Metro 8 is spectacular-I had steak while my husband had lamb and we did the whole nine yards with dessert and wine. The only thing I was disappointed in was the atmosphere inside, but I can seem some may enjoy the look (though I really didn't like the echoing). I would highly recommend trying out Metro 8 and seeing for yourself!

Best Steakhouse in NC. This is by far, the best steakhouse I have ever been to. The second I walked in the door, I was greeted by friendly staff members and a beautiful environment. The wine list is a variety of great wines from all over the world. I had the provaleta and the empanadas for starters and they were fantastic. The caeser salad was incredible. For my entree, I had the filet mignon au poivre which absolutely melted in my mouth. It was so tender and juicy. It was amazing. BY FAR...........the best steak I have ever had. My guest and I had to have the souffle, and OH MY GOD! Wonderful.

The food, service and environment of this restaurant is amazing. I love all the little candles lining the walls. AND, this is a big thing for me, Metro 8 Steakhouse makes me appreciate the great service I had there....the staff was wonderful. Extremely informative, attentive, and kind......where do you find service like that anymore!

I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! Go there for dinner, for drinks or just dessert...............JUST GO THERE!!! It is SO worth it!

Excellent food. Usually when you go to a restaurant on a Monday night, few people are there and you can enjoy a quiet dinner. When we went to Metro 8 to celebrate a birthday, there were only a few other tables being used. We were sitting by ourselves for a few minutes until two people came in, who were seated right next to us. And the woman at that table could talk. By the end of the evening, I knew many things about her. I have no idea why the restaurant did that when there were plenty of other tables so each of us could have a quiet evening. That being said, this was the only complaint of the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the spinach dip which came to us very hot, which was nice on a cold evening. It was served with very warm tortilla chips. I got a churacco steak and fries, both of which were excellent. She got the fettucine which she loved, but I only thought it was okay when trying it. The crepe for dessert was delicious as well. Overall it was a great night and I plan on going back.

Wow. We had reservations for a Saturday night and it was fantastic. The service was absolutely awesome. Our server was very knowlegeable about the specials, personable, and was extrememly polite. I had the Caesar salad and it was probably the best I've ever had. For my main dish I had the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly and accurately. I also had a baked potatoe, no surprises just a decent potatoe. For desert I had cheesecake and it was super, but slightly too done. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Overall I had a great time and a fantastic dinner.
